Water Damage Restoration - Done in the Right Order

Each stage is performed by the independent restoration contractor the call reaches; IICRC S500 is the industry standard that describes them.

  1. Step 1: Extraction

    Standing water is pumped out before it can travel further into drywall, subfloor, and framing. Speed here changes the scope of everything that follows.

  2. Step 2: Moisture mapping

    Meters read the material, not the air, so the wet edge is found even when the surface already looks dry. The map sets what has to come out and what can stay.

  3. Step 3: Drying

    Air movers and dehumidifiers run as a closed system until readings inside the material reach a dry standard, not until a calendar date arrives.

  4. Step 4: Verification

    The same points are re-read before equipment comes out. Rebuild starts only after the structure, not just the surface, is confirmed dry.

What drives water into buildings in New Britain

Water damage restoration in New Britain reaches out through Little Poland, Downtown New Britain, and Barrio Latino, and our local pros handle all of it. A Connecticut city where nine in ten homes predate 1990, on a plain between ridges with a brook culverted beneath the older streets.

Housing stock

Close to nine in ten of the housing here predates 1990 — 92.6 percent of it — and construction settles around a median year of 1956. Dense older stock on cellars, with a combined sewer under much of it. What is buried under the middle of the city cannot be inspected from anywhere.

Climate and water risk

April alone accounts for 9.5 percent of the 48.02 inches this area sees in an average year, on 1991–2020 normals recorded 2.6 miles away at NEWINGTON 1.9 SSW. April tops the year at over four and a half inches out of forty-eight, and everything landing here starts a stream rather than joining one.

Common water damage problems in New Britain

  • A brook culverted beneath the older streets, its condition unknowable from above
  • A ridge at the top of its own catchments, with no river to flood
  • Ridges either side delivering what they receive onto the plain within hours
  • Gaps between buildings narrow enough to receive two roofs at once

Frequently asked questions

The city sits on a ridge rather than in a valley.

It does, which means it is at the top of its own catchments rather than downstream of anyone, and there is no river to flood. That is mostly an advantage. What it costs is that everything which lands here starts a stream, so the small channels leaving the city respond within the hour with no warning.

The reservoirs above the city are held for water supply.

They are, which means their levels are managed for supply first and everything else second, and they offer little spare storage when a large rain arrives. They are also old structures. The state register of dams records what exists and who holds it, and that is the right place to start with any question about one.

The city was built out around one industry in a few decades.

It was, which left housing, grading and drainage on whole streets dating from a single period and laid to one specification. They reach the ends of their lives together rather than one at a time, so a whole block can need the same work inside a year. A neighbor's repair is a fair forecast for the rest.
